Rehabilitation and Retrofitting of Structures


Introduction  Rehabilitation of sensory and cognitive function typically involves

methods for retraining neural pathways or training new neural pathways to regain or improve neurocognitive functioning that has been diminished by disease or trauma.  Three common neuropsychological problems treatable with rehabilitation are attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), concussion, and spinal cord injury.  Rehabilitation research and practices are a fertile area for clinical neuropsychologists and others.


 Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to

older systems.  home energy retrofit, the improving of existing buildings with energy efficiency equipment  seismic retrofit, the process of strengthening older buildings in order to make them earthquake resistant. •Much research and focus has been given to concussion suffered frequently by athletes. While the severity of brain trauma has been standardized for immediate "sideline" assessment, much work needs to be done to understand how to rehabilitate or accelerate the rehabilitation of athletes' brain function following serious concussion—whether consciousness is lost or a dazed/confused feeling is experienced or not. Currently, rehabilitation of concussive brain injury is based on rest and gradual return to normal activities with as much involvement as can be tolerated.
